Hi everyone this is my 1st post here.
Iam a newbie and just started to look into forex trading, I have opened a demo account at Oando.
From what I have read the charts they provide are not all that good, so I was wondering if anyone an recomend any free good charting software that are available.
In particular are there any charts where I can track a certain currency aswell as other indices that overlap onto the same chart where I can see the correlations between the two indices e.g AUD/CRB - index, USD/gold prices etc.

Thanks in advance for you reccomendations.

Hi thanks for the quick reply. To get realtime data I need the software to connect to some kind of provider? So even though the software is free I still need to pay who ever is providng real updates?

No, the software has multiple data providers, all you have to do is setup a live or demo account with them and use that info to connecto their feed. NT also gives you a free gain data feed without having to set anything up, you just set it up in the account connections and choose Gain as the provider etc.

MetaTrader is free and a lot of people use it.
You can get it from the MetaTrader website which is like signing up for Alpari demo account. Or you can get it from other brokers which offer demo of it.

I don't know about the pairs though. Brokers offer different pairs, so you'd have to find one which has the crosses you're looking for.

I also looked into NinjaTrader previously too and didn't know how to get a free subscription without opening a Live account... but will look into it again XD

I have installed the software and seem to succesfully connected to gain .
Just to reiterate specifially what I asked earlier... the ninjatrader platform has the capabilty to track certain currencies aswell as other indices that overlap onto the same chart where I can see the correlations between the two indices e.g AUD/CRB - index

I am currently with Gain using MT4 because I know it . Would you mind saying
some more about Ninja ? Why do you like it instead of MT4 ? Do you still
have Gain Capitol spreads when using ninja ? Any pros / cons you have
found would appreciate hearing about . Thanks

NinjaTrader is completely free with Gain Capital data. You don't have to open an account with either company. Seriously, it's free regardless of how many ways you rephrase the question.

If you can't figure it out PM me and I'll help you get started.
